Chapter 311: Little brother, thank you so much!
Several people are working together, making a concerted effort with one heart and one mind!
Just as he was about to walk back, he paused suddenly, as if remembering something, and slapped his head, his face full of annoyance.
"Damn it, I left too hurriedly, I forgot to go to the Empress Dowager's sleeping palace for a stroll!"
Xu Que lifted his eyebrows, turned around, and prepared to enter the palace again to sweep and loot the Empress Dowager's sleeping palace, and by the way, see what the real person looked like.
If she is really as beautiful as a celestial being, then he must criticize her well!
How did you teach your grandson?
Do you know that your grandson secretly collects certain things?
You are poisoning the youth! In the future, this kind of thing should be handed over to me for safekeeping...
Xu Que determined the direction of the criticism and prepared to enter the palace again!
However, just as he turned around, several fine horses walked over from not far away on the street, followed by a group of guards and a carriage. It was exactly the Second Prince's group.
This cunning Second Fatty, in order to delay time, actually strolled for so long on such a short road before arriving. Isn't this intentionally fooling this "King of Acting Cool"?
Hehe!
You didn't you lie to me that the sleeping palace was poor?
This "King of Acting Cool" how can I let you break your promise? Wait and see a good show in a while!
It is evident that the Second Prince usually comes to this place to read cultivation techniques and go into closed-door meditation!
The servant who was driving the carriage seemed to sense something, hurriedly turned his head, looked at it with full confusion, and asked suspiciously: "Young Master Xu, are you okay?"
"Something is wrong! Stop the carriage!"
Xu Que shouted in the carriage.
The voice was a bit loud, and even the Second Prince in front heard it. He frowned instantly, waved his hand impatiently, and the team, which was already moving slowly, stopped immediately.
Everyone also turned their heads to look at Xu Que's carriage, all waiting to see what trouble this guy was going to cause again.
"Young Master Xu, what's wrong?"
The servant also hurriedly pulled the reins and asked suspiciously.
Xu Que lifted the carriage curtain and jumped down, smiling lightly: "You walk so slowly, it's not interesting at all. Forget it, I don't want the residence and the gold and silver treasures. As for those three thousand beauties, let them go the way they came. Goodbye!"
After speaking, Xu Que turned and left.
The Second Prince and others were stunned, somewhat astonished.
What is this guy playing at?
Suddenly saying he's not going, and also doesn't want all the things?
Did he suddenly have a change of heart?
Weird, this is too weird!
"Xu Que, what kind of tricks do you want to play?"
The Second Prince asked loudly, remembering that the IOU hadn't been taken back.
"Am I the kind of person who likes to play tricks? Don't tease me. You walk so slowly, there must be a conspiracy. If I go, I definitely won't gain anything, why waste time! Come, return the IOU to you!"
Xu Que waved his hand, crumpled the IOU into a ball, and threw it at the Second Prince.
"Don't thank me, I'm going home to write a diary, goodbye!"
Xu Que walked away.
The Second Prince felt a burst of doubt and confusion in his heart. After catching the paper ball, he hurriedly unfolded it to check, and was instantly dumbfounded.
This was actually the IOU he wrote with his own hand.
How could this be?
Why did Xu Que suddenly change his temper, as if he had become a good person!
Actually sending the IOU back so easily?
Could it be that he had a sudden enlightenment in the carriage just now?
"Your Highness, in this old slave's opinion, that kid must be afraid because he is approaching the Imperial Palace!"
At this time, the personal old eunuch beside the Second Prince smiled in a low voice.
The Second Prince heard this and immediately reacted, suddenly smiling playfully: "So that's it. At first, I was still surprised that he was so bold as to dare to enter the palace with this Prince. Now it seems that it was just showing off for a moment!"
"Your Highness is wise!"
The old eunuch hurriedly flattered.
The Second Prince smiled coldly, his gaze fixed on Xu Que's receding back, and said coldly: "The Imperial Palace is full of experts. It's only right for him to be afraid. However... this doesn't mean I will let him go. You arrange manpower. Before the Imperial Mausoleum trial ends, I want to see his corpse!"
"Yes!"
The old eunuch hurriedly responded!
Afterwards, the group marched majestically into the palace!
However, at this time, the Imperial Palace had already begun to be in chaos. Many Imperial Guards were searching everywhere, and major sleeping palaces had also added many people to guard them.
After the Second Prince and others entered the palace, sensing something was wrong, they hurriedly stopped a pair of Imperial Guards and asked: "What happened in the palace?"
The Imperial Guard saw it was the Second Prince, hurriedly knelt on one knee, bowed and said: "Reporting to His Highness the Second Prince, half an hour ago, an assassin appeared in the palace and knocked out the little eunuch of the Qinxiang Palace!"
"Qinxiang Palace? Isn't that the Empress Dowager's sleeping palace?"
The Second Prince frowned instantly, his eyes flickering slightly.
The Imperial Guard nodded and said: "En, it is heard that the assassin inquired about the location of several sleeping palaces from that little eunuch, but the little eunuch suspects that the assassin is targeting the Empress Dowager. We have added manpower to strictly guard the major sleeping palaces."
After hearing this, the Second Prince's expression turned gloomy, his fists clenched tightly, and he said in a deep voice: "These petty thieves are truly bold and reckless. Send more people to the Empress Dowager's place. I will go personally to protect the Empress Dowager's safety later!"
"Yes!"
The Imperial Guard hurriedly took the order and retreated in a hurry.
But the Second Prince always felt something was wrong in his heart, and led his men, rushing toward his own sleeping palace.
However, when the Second Prince and the old eunuch stepped into the sleeping palace, they were stunned and retreated simultaneously.
"Presumptuous, how are you leading the way? Have you forgotten where this Prince's sleeping palace is?" the Second Prince said angrily.
Because this sleeping palace was too strange, empty, and looked like an abandoned palace with no one living in it.
Empty!
The coral trees that were originally placed at will, and the precious decorations like agate, could not be seen at all.
Not to mention, various auxiliary treasures beneficial to cultivation, such as the incense burner burning overseas Dragon Saliva Incense that could calm the mind, the chair made of overseas Fragrant Nanmu, the cold jade bed naturally formed by millennium cold jade...
These were all treasures that the Second Prince had collected through various means for many years, but now... none of them could be seen.
So, it's no wonder that when the Second Prince walked here, he couldn't recognize that this was his sleeping palace at all.
The old eunuch was also startled, hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, shouting: "This old slave is guilty, Your Highness, please calm your anger!"
Just at this time, several eunuchs in the palace heard the movement and ran out one after another, full of joy, preparing to claim credit: "See Your Highness, the things you ordered, we have all handled!"
"The things I ordered?"
The Second Prince was stunned.
"Right, didn't you send a secret order for us to collect the treasures in the sleeping palace?" several eunuchs said.
The old eunuch kneeling on the ground suddenly remembered that he had indeed sent a secret order!
